Dates are a very sweet fruit and make for a great addition to quick breads and muffins. This moist date nut bread makes a wonderful breakfast or brunch bread. The recipe features walnuts, though pecans are nice as well. Since it's a quick bread, no yeast or kneading is required and it's ready to eat in a little more than an hour.

Not only is this bread delicious, but it also freezes well, too. Freeze the whole loaf or spread cream cheese between two thin slices and freeze the sandwiches to enjoy later. It's also delicious with orange cream cheese or orange-flavored butter.
Date nut bread will keep at room temperature, covered, for three to four days. It's delicious toasted with butter, honey, or cream cheese.
Freeze any leftover (or extra) date nut bread by wrapping the loaf (or individual slices) in foil and freezing for up to three months. Defrost in the fridge, at room temperature, or return the loaf or slices to a 300 F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

I used to love date nut bread when I was a teenager. Heading into New York City from the suburbs on Saturdays for adventure often included a trip to Chock Full O’ Nuts for a date nut and cream cheese sandwich. And then came
Starts in just a little over a week. I’ve watched every single episode, which I guess qualifies me as a true fan. My sonstarted me down this road, so I can either thank or chastise him for myaddiction to the rollercoaster that is Mad Men.
Date And Nut Cake (the Best)
In the beginning, I watched simply for the storylines and the characters. As the seasons progressed, I noticed the clothing styles, the attention to period detail, and the political references. Now, with the series drawing to a close, I find myself obsessed with
The book ties recipes into the series. The authors explain when each dish or drink appears and its context, both in the show and the period.
Finale party, I decided to make Date Nut Bread, which links to the Drapers twice. First, Betty makes it for Sally’s sixth birthday party in Season 1. Then, Don’s paramour, Sally’s teacher Suzanne Farrell, makes it for Don in Season 3.

But my date nut bread is for Peggy and Joan. The determined girl who wants to leave Brooklyn far behind and the office manager who has almost as many secrets as Don are the focus of my attention.
Yes, it’s ironic that I’m talking about food and recipes in connection withtwo of the women on the show who spent much more time strategizing how to get ahead in their careers than they did leafing through cookbooks.
And the irony is compounded by my own story. I resisted the stereotype that women belong in the kitchen just as Peggy, Joan, and even Megan did. Like them, I took my professional life seriously. However, I was a bit more “out front” than they were. As the only woman lawyer in a post-Mad Men law firm, I plastered an ERA sticker on my briefcase. By now I’ve relaxed quite a bit about stereotypes and how to challenge them. So I can live with the ironies, especially when food is involved. Hope you can too.
Moist Date Nut Bread Recipe
When they needed a quick bite to eat, Peggy and Joan might well have gone to Chock Full O’Nuts. It was the coffee shop that working “girls” in midtown New York flocked to for a good coffee and a cheap but delicious sandwich. The house specialty was date nut bread slathered with cream cheese.
In its heyday, the chain had 100 luncheonettes. There would have been one near Sterling Cooper, and its subsequent iterations, Sterling, Cooper, Draper, and Pryce, and Sterling, Cooper & Partners.
Never showed Peggy and/or Joan eating a date nut bread and cream cheese sandwich at a lunch counter. Still, I know it would have happened. I can imagine it as clearly as I can see them rolling their eyes (only in the ladies’ room, of course) at the antics of the men with whom they have had to put up all these years.
Moist Date Bread (no Nuts)
Date nut bread was to the 1960s what cupcakes were to the last decade. Imagine a world without single origin chocolate. When artisan meant old (not fancy schmantzy) and instant coffee from a jar was perfectly acceptable. In that world, a slightly sweet dough that held together dried fruit and walnuts was a dinner dessert, a valued contribution to a bake sale, and sandwich bread.
I adapted this version from the recipe in The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook. The authors of the book, in turn adapted their recipe from Pat Nixon’s recipe, printed in a 1961 Hints from Heloise column.
My loaf pan is a bit smaller than most - 7 & 1/2 inches long x 4 & 1/2 inches wide by 2 & 1/4 inches deep. The standard loaf pan is 9 x 5, or 8 1/2 x 4 1/2. Any of those sizes will work, keeping in mind that the smaller the loaf pan, the taller the bread.

There are so many delicious recipes that contain dates. One of my favorites is this recipe for Ultimate Date Bars. These bars were offered by Betty Crocker back in the day in the form of a box mix. I begged my mom to let me make them each week. Years later, Betty Crocker discontinued the mix and I was so disappointed. A few years ago I was delighted to find a homemade recipe for date bars in a Betty Crocker cookbook, and they are just as delicious as I remember!
One of the most popular cookie recipes on my blog during the holidays is my Pecan Date Cookies recipe. There’s a pecan stuffed date in the center of each soft cookie and they’re glazed with a browned butter glaze. Delicious!

I just placed one in my freezer for the holidays this coming week. I’ll show you how easy it is to make. First, let’s start with the ingredients.
